Decorative choices range from delicate silks and grasses to sturdy vinyls and even wood veneer that can be sanded and finished like solid wood paneling.
Most of the wallpapers sold in this country are paper-backed vinyls. According to John Dee, these are easier to work with than more delicate and tear-prone plain paper, and generally come prepasted eliminating the need to roll on starch-based adhesives. They can, however, be harder to cut and require bonding with vinyl-to-vinyl adhesive.
Tip: Silk, grass, cloth, and textured papers also require careful attention during installation: "You absolutely can't get paste on their faces," Dee says. "There's no way to wipe it off."
